Thanks a lot for the clarification but I was just telling about it with respect to the world of Personal Computer(PC's) only.Yes Linux is among the pioneer and I added it in the list by mistake but there growth rate is not good.What do you say Stachart?

i agree with you John, ... For PC but not for web hosting! web hosting is most close to shell and linus work almost like a shell! for web hosting linus and windows are the most populars but linus is more popular!

Yep the main reason behind popularity of linux is that it is less resource hungry and their are various flavours to meet everybody's requirement.You can run a latest linux distro in a 128mb box but you can't do this with windows.

Dark Rider you are right but what does the flavor means in above message.Linux is really the best ranked for the web hosting purpose.Widely used and have lot of features.

I am pretty surely by flavors of linux he want to say that their are some many version of linux which can meet requirements of any kind of work online and thus satisfying people with varying level of knowledge of linux from beginners to pros.
